We also have some exciting March events coming up-be sure to check out the details in the articles below. Don't miss out on our next Twilight event, where we're celebrating Pancake Day, so be sure to stay for dessert! Plus, we're thrilled to launch our first Thursday Twilight Series, hosted by our Younger Members Committee. We'll be extending bar hours, and we look forward to creating a fantastic atmosphere at the club.
With the new golfing season well underway, it's timely to remind all members of our dress code standards. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the high standard that reflects the club's values and traditions.
On the competition front, Pennant season has begun, and we encourage members to follow along with our weekly updates, available on the website. If you can, get out and support our teams-your presence makes a difference!
It's been wonderful to welcome students from Mentone Grammar as part of their curriculum program for a new year. Seeing the next generation of golfers enjoying our facilities is exciting, and we hope to welcome some of them as junior members in the near future.
A warm welcome also to the 28 new members who have joined the club this year! Thank you to those who have referred family and friends-your support in growing our community is truly appreciated.
Take-home meals are back next week! They've been in high demand and a hot topic at the bistro bar, so be sure to get your orders in over the weekend. If you haven't tried them yet, check out the testimonials on our website to see what everyone's raving about.
In exciting news, our irrigation project is officially underway, starting with the 12th hole. The great news is that the course remains fully open throughout the process. Here's what to expect in the coming weeks:
Stage 1: Installation of the irrigation mainline from the 12th pump shed to the 18th Tee. Both holes remain open, with forward markers for safety.
Stage 2: Irrigation installation on the 11th fairway, requiring its closure for approximately 4-6 days. The 19th green will be in play.
Stage 3: A temporary closure of the 10th hole for 1-2 days, while the 11th and 19th holes remain in play.
Stage 4: Irrigation work on the 18th fairway, requiring the hole's closure while the 10th, 11th, and 19th remain in play.
We appreciate your patience as we make these improvements that will enhance playing conditions for years to come.
And finally, as many of you have already seen, our world-famous footy tipping competition is just around the corner! While management does not officially endorse the poorly dressed Collingwood mannequin in the terrace bar, it may well feature in our next "How Not to Dress" article!
